Wii Fit Priced, Gamers Gasp and Wheeze
So we officially have a price for Nintendo’s eagerly awaited mostly insignifcant Wii Fit. Kotaku is reporting that the bundle of the game and balance board will retail for $90.
Now American gamers know exactly how much it will cost them to pretend to exercise while standing not so perfectly still on a slab of plastic. The good news is that since you’re paying just under a C note after taxes for this fitness revolution it will likely take longer for you to denegrate the balance board into little more than a TV tray for your gigantic, calorie-laden, trans fat having, heart attack inducing American-sized dinner.
Is anybody else getting hungry? I sure could go for a 2 lb steak right about now…

$90!?! I could get a gym membership for that price! Of course, gyms don’t have cute miis on the screen or let me enjoy the comforts of my own home - like the couch after five minutes of trying the yoga activities. Hmm…

Hah, I am willing to bet money that some of those more trendy “city gyms” are going to be getting some Wii Fits just for the buzz/coolness factor of it, and sooner rather than later.
And even if they don’t, gyms still have those live cute misses to ogle at
Of course I am the one to talk - I haven’t been to a gym, yoga studio, or any other fitness related institution in 4 months. So once things get bad enough to mean a choice between spending money on a set of new pants vs. spending $90 pretending I am going to get back into my old ones, who knows which way I’ll go
